[Freeswitch-users] high pdd (how to debug)

[Anthony Minessale]

Its not about gdb, its about weather or not the limitation is only in
windows or only caused by illegitimate traffic.  We won't know that from
debugging only in windows.

Sofia has a known bottleneck when pushed too hard.  More profiles is a
myth.  The solution is to find the breaking point and set that as the hard
max to avoid breaking it.
